Business intelligence and data analysis software

Technology category · O*NET

Business intelligence and data analysis software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 117 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 86th percentile of AI task-exposure ( high) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

How AI is used by roles that use Business intelligence and data analysis software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Business intelligence and data analysis software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 59.8% of the 117 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (70 roles).

Across those roles, 51.1% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 40.1% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.64 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 35.8% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 29.1% you and AI go back and forth
learning 18.3% you ask AI to explain or teach
feedback loop 4.3% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 3.7% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Secretaries and Administrative Assistants, Except Legal, Medical, and Executive 36.3% 3.0/5
Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Technical and Scientific Products 51.1% 3.0/5
Bioinformatics Scientists 44.5% 4.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Business intelligence and data analysis software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Business intelligence and data analysis software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Business intelligence and data analysis software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 25.7% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Business intelligence and data analysis software (measured across 67 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 6,617,980 61.5%
Health Care and Social Assistance 6,516,930 28.2%
Finance and Insurance 3,515,880 56.5%
Retail Trade 2,696,040 17.3%
Wholesale Trade 2,648,550 43.9%
Manufacturing 2,637,390 20.7%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 2,317,510 25.7%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 1,963,680 69.9%
Educational Services 1,734,840 12.7%
Information 1,638,120 56.3%
Construction 1,195,520 14.7%
Other Services (except Public Administration) 852,120 19.3%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Management of Companies and Enterprises Sector 2.72× 69.9%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 2.39× 61.5%

Information Sector 2.19× 56.3%
Wholesale Trade Sector 1.71× 43.9%
Solar Electric Power Generation National industry 1.63× 41.9%
Insurance Agencies and Brokerages National industry 1.57× 40.3%
Labor Unions and Similar Labor Organizations National industry 1.56× 40.1%
Farm and Garden Machinery and Equipment Merchant Wholesalers National industry 1.32× 33.8%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
